The UFC also confirmed in a statement that UFC 216, headlined by an interim lightweight title fight between Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee, will be held Saturday as planned at T-Mobile Arena.

The statement in full:

Our focus right now is on supporting the community and those affected by Sunday evening’s events. UFC 216 on Saturday, October 7 at T-Mobile Arena will proceed as scheduled until further notice.

Not long after that statement was released, White, who grew up in Las Vegas and for a while attended Bishop Gorman High School here, told MMA reporter Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal about the plans for the donation.

UFC president Dana White tells me the organization will donate $1 million to the families of those affected by the tragedy in Las Vegas
